I accidentally hit the send button before I was complexly finished composing the original post.
Let me follow up & my take on "sam". As far as I can tell "Sam" presents no actual evidence in his post as to why he thinks BLP & Mills is a scam operation. What he does state, and this is quite revealing, is that he is upset over the fact that three of his own science articles posted out to Wikipedia had been removed whereas Dr. Mills posts were not. IOW, "Sam" sounds like a crank extraordinaire to me, and a rather spiteful one at that. >From Daniel: > I guess Witch Doctor is right about BLP. ;) In regards to prior "Witch Doctor" commentary on BLP, I don't believe they have ever stated anything that implies Mills & Co. is a scam operation. Far from it. As I understand it, in all prior critiques their main concern has always been that from their perspective BLP's CQM theory was inaccurate, and that when those inaccuracies presumably become more obvious to all involved it may cause a lot of internal turmoil. (This perspective has also been speculated within Vortex as well.) This combined with that fact that from the WD perspective the company has not made sufficient progress in capitalizing on the phenomenon they have detected, especially considering the number of years BLP has been working in the field. That does not in any way constitute statements that imply that BLP is a scam operation, nor that they haven't detected excess heat. I would suspect that BLP has most certainly detected excess heat. It's more a matter that they have yet to find a way to engineer a process that can commercialize on their findings. The implication I take from their commentary is that perhaps inaccuracies within the CQM theory itself may be directly/indirectly responsible in hampering commercial progress, but that is only speculation on my part. Disclaimer: All of WD commentary is unsubstantiated in traditional scientific terms. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
